Rostelecom is working on its own smartphone

Domestic Telecom operator Rostelecom reported work on the development and creation of its own smartphone, which will likely be produced under his own logo. Representatives of the company yet do not disclose details about it, but some details are already known.

In particular, not so long ago, Rostelecom became the owner of a mobile platform Sailfish OS, developed once came from Nokia now totally forgotten. Apparently, it will run the upcoming domestic smartphone that does him credit under Sailfish OS is absolutely not available application. About who is engaged in the development of the hardware of the smartphone also not reported, and there are two options: either Rostelecom has connected local developers, either he has contracts with Chinese OEMs, which will release the touch of the nameless bar, going to put on the appropriate logo and install Sailfish OS instead of Google Android.

According to rumors, the smartphone will be launched this year, but his success on the Russian market is still highly questionable. In 2011, Rostelecom had tried to enter the market of smartphones under its own brand RTK. The attempt was crowned with failure, and at the present time about the existence of such devices, remember one.
